The ‘Defend Our Coast Association‘ ( or DOC for short), set up by local people living on the Romney Marsh to campaign for local involvement and consultation in the preparation of Shoreline Management Plans for the Sussex / Kent coast have just launched a new website.

The published Shoreline Management Plan (Folkestone to Cliff End) contained various recommendations which caused great concerns to areas all along our stretch of coast and particularly its recommendations of ‘Managed Retreat” in some areas has put the Marsh at an increased risk of flooding and blighted properties on these specific frontages.
